Initial public release date was 09-26-2017, but were soon taken down.  
Official Public release date was 06-01-2018.

Data were taken down soon after September 26, 2017 at the request of Klarner, as one of the other four authors (Hicks) had posted them before required to satisfy the date mandated by the replication requirement for the journal, which was June 1, 2018.  If anyone downloaded the data in September 2017, they were not supposed to be uploaded at that time.  Furthermore, more data was posted in the September post than was required to meet the replication requirement, and those data have been stripped from the replication dataset.  Anyone using those data are using them inappropriately.
